An elegant study in orris and woods, Opus V Woods Symphony opens with a plush duet of orris absolute and rum that feels textured and luminous, moves into a satin heart where orris concrete brushes against jasmine and rose, then resolves in a refined trail of oud, dry woods, and a soft touch of civet, creating a cerebral yet sensual floral amber with unmistakable Amouage signature.

Story and Positioning
Created for Amouage’s Library Collection, Opus V reflects the brand’s theme of knowledge in the digital age, pairing noble orris with resonant woods for a poised, modern classic. The fragrance is presented at 24 percent oil concentration and is aged for six weeks for depth and polish. In 2022, the Library Collection was refreshed, and this chapter took the subtitle Woods Symphony, preserving its orris-led character within the new look. If you enjoy refined iris and wood compositions, you may also appreciate Masque Milano L Attesa or the accessible, inspired scent Optus V from Maison Alhambra.
Bottle and Design
Opus V appears in the Library silhouette, a substantial rectangular glass flacon finished in an ivory tone that reads serene and luxurious. The front carries the Amouage crest above the Roman numeral V, giving a clear chapter mark within the Library line. A polished metal cap sits with a secure, precise fit, and the atomizer releases a fine, even mist that makes dosing effortless. The presentation aligns with the current Library aesthetic, elegant and understated, allowing the juice to be the focus.
